Utilizing machine learning to generate augmented reality delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location

ABSTRACT

A device receives delivery information indicating instructions for delivery of an item at a location, wherein the delivery information include an image of the location with a designated point for delivering the item. The device receives information indicating that a user device, associated with a delivery person, is at the location, and processes the delivery information and the information indicating that the user device, associated with the delivery person, is at the location, with a machine learning model, to generate delivery instructions for the item, wherein the delivery instructions include augmented reality information indicating the designated point for delivering the item at the location. The device provides the delivery instructions to the user device, wherein the delivery instructions enable the user device to utilize the augmented reality information to display the designated point for delivering the item within a live image of the location.

BACKGROUND

More people than ever are shopping online and having items (e.g., packages) delivered to their homes, workplaces, and/or other locations. Delivery services utilize delivery personnel to deliver the items to the homes, the workplaces, and/or the other locations. If an item does not require a signature from a receiver of the item, the delivery personnel typically leave the item at a front door, in a mailbox, and/or the like.

SUMMARY

According to some implementations, a device may include one or more memories, and one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to receive delivery information indicating instructions for delivery of an item at a location, wherein the delivery information may include an image of the location with a designated point for delivering the item. The one or more processors may receive information indicating that a user device, associated with a delivery person, is at the location, and may process the delivery information and the information indicating that the user device, associated with the delivery person, is at the location, with a machine learning model, to generate delivery instructions for the item, wherein the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information indicating the designated point for delivering the item at the location. The one or more processors may provide the delivery instructions to the user device, wherein the delivery instructions may enable the user device to utilize the augmented reality information to display the designated point for delivering the item within a live image of the location.

According to some implementations, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store instructions that include one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to receive registration information for registering a user associated with a location, and create an account for the user based on the registration information. The one or more instructions may cause the one or more processors to receive, via the account, delivery information indicating instructions for delivery of an item at the location, wherein the delivery information may include an image of the location with a designated point for delivering the item. The one or more instructions may cause the one or more processors to determine that a user device, associated with a delivery person, is near the location to deliver the item, wherein the user device, associated with the delivery person, may be determined to be near the location based on global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the user device. The one or more instructions may cause the one or more processors to generate delivery instructions for the item based on the delivery information and based on determining that the user device, associated with the delivery person, is near the location, wherein the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information indicating the designated point for delivering the item at the location. The one or more instructions may cause the one or more processors to provide the delivery instructions to the user device associated with the delivery person, wherein the delivery instructions may enable the user device, associated with the delivery person, to utilize the augmented reality information to display the designated point for delivering the item within a live image of the location.

According to some implementations, a method may include receiving delivery information indicating instructions for delivery of an item at a location, wherein the delivery information may include an image of the location with a designated point for delivering the item. The method may include receiving information indicating that a user device, associated with a delivery person, will be delivering the item to the location at a particular time, and generating delivery instructions for the item based on the delivery information and the information indicating that the user device, associated with the delivery person, will be delivering the item to the location at the particular time, wherein the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information indicating the designated point for delivering the item at the location. The method may include providing the delivery instructions to the user device, associated with the delivery person, prior to the particular time, wherein the delivery instructions may enable the user device to utilize the augmented reality information to display the designated point for delivering the item within a live image of the location and at the particular time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description of example implementations refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.

The increase in the quantity of packages being delivered has caused an increase in a quantity of thefts of packages from homes, workplaces, and/or other locations. One way to reduce theft of an item is to require a physical signature from a recipient of the item. However, this may be impractical or impossible when the recipient is not at a delivery location when the package is scheduled to be delivered (e.g., in the day time). Thus, delivery services currently do not provide a practical, safe, and convenient way of ensuring delivery of items to customers.

Some implementations described herein provide an augmented reality (AR) delivery platform that utilizes machine learning to generate augmented reality delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location. For example, the AR delivery platform may receive delivery information indicating instructions for delivery of an item at a location, wherein the delivery information may include an image of the location with a designated point for delivering the item. The AR delivery platform may receive information indicating that a user device, associated with a delivery person, is at the location, and may process the delivery information and the information indicating that the user device, associated with the delivery person, is at the location, with a machine learning model, to generate delivery instructions for the item, wherein the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information indicating the designated point for delivering the item at the location. The AR delivery platform may provide the delivery instructions to the user device, wherein the delivery instructions may enable the user device to utilize the augmented reality information to display the designated point for delivering the item within a live image of the location.

In this way, the AR delivery platform provides a practical, safe, and convenient way of ensuring delivery of items to customers. The AR delivery platform may provide augmented reality information that ensures delivery of an item to a location designated by a customer, which may prevent theft, vandalism, and/or destruction of the item and may reduce ambiguity (e.g., for a delivery person) of where to deliver an item. By ensuring delivery of items to customers, the AR delivery platform may conserve resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, transportation resources, manufacturing resources, and/or like) that would otherwise be used to replace stolen, vandalized, and/or destroyed items.

FIGS. 1A-1H are diagrams of an example implementation 100 described herein. As shown in FIGS. 1A-H, a user device, associated with a user (e.g., a customer, such as a home owner, a property manager, a delivery service, etc.), and another user device, associated with a delivery person, may be associated with an augmented reality (AR) delivery platform. As shown in FIG. 1A, the user of the user device may be associated with a location (e.g., a home of the user). As further shown in FIG. 1A, and by reference number 105, the user of the user device may utilize the user device to capture an image of the location to where a delivery is to be provided (e.g., at a later time).

In some implementations, the user may utilize the user device to provide instructions for delivery of items at the location, such as instructions to provide an item in a mailbox at the location, at a front door of the location, behind a screen door, on a porch of the location, behind a plant (e.g., a bush) at the location, within a lobby of the location, at a back door of the location, instructions to ring a doorbell and leave the item at a front door if no one answers the doorbell, and/or the like. In some implementations, as further shown in FIG. 1A, the user may utilize the user device to provide indications (e.g., circles, points, squares, other shapes, colors, and/or the like), in the image of the location, that identify one or more designated points (e.g., squares marked “OK”) for delivering an item at the location, one or more designated points (e.g., squares marked “Not OK”) not to leave an item at the location, and/or the like. In some implementations, such indication may be provided based on the user walking to designated points at the location and indicating whether a point is approved or not approved for delivering an item. In some implementations, the user device may utilize the instructions for delivery of items at the location to automatically create the indications in the image of the location. For example, if the user provides instructions indicating that an item is to be delivered to a side porch at the location, the user device may provide an indication at an image of the side porch in the image of the location.

In some implementations, the user may utilize the user device to receive an application from the AR delivery platform, and may install the application on the user device. The application may enable the user device to capture the image of the location, receive the instructions for delivery of items at the location from the user, receive the indications, in the image of the location, that identify one or more designated points for delivering an item at the location, automatically create the indications in the image of the location, and/or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1B, and by reference number 110, the AR delivery platform may receive, from the user device, registration information for registering the user with the AR delivery platform. In some implementations, the registration information may include information indicating proof of an identity of the user (e.g., a name of the user, a home address of the user, an email address of the user, a driver's license number of the user, and/or the like); information indicating the location of the user (e.g., a home address of the user, global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the user device, an image of mail indicating the location, and/or the like); information indicating a method of payment for utilizing the AR delivery platform if payment is required (e.g., a credit card number, a debit card number, and/or the like); and/or the like.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may validate that the registration information is correct (e.g., that the user is properly identified, that the location of the user is verified and associated with the user, that the method of payment is valid, and/or the like), and may register the user with the AR delivery platform when the registration information is correct. If the registration information is not correct, the AR delivery platform may reject the request for registering the user with the AR delivery platform. In some implementations, when the user is registered with the AR delivery platform, the AR delivery platform may provide the application to the user device (e.g., for capturing the image of the location, receiving the instructions for delivery of items at the location from the user, receiving the indications, automatically creating the indications, and/or the like), as described above in connection with FIG. 1A.

As further shown in FIG. 1B, and by reference number 115, the AR delivery platform may receive, from the user device, delivery information indicating delivery instructions for the user (e.g., for delivering items to the location). In some implementations, the user may utilize the application to cause the user device to provide the delivery information to the AR delivery platform. In some implementations, the delivery information may include the image of the location; information indicating preferred delivery times to the location; information indicating specific delivery instructions (e.g., ring a doorbell, knock on a back door, and/or the like); the instructions for delivery of items at the location; the indications, in the image of the location, that identify one or more designated points for delivering an item at the location; the automatically created indications in the image of the location; and/or the like. In some implementations, the delivery instructions may be different for different sized items. For example, a letter may be placed in a mailbox or inside a screen door, while a medium or large package will need to be left at a different location (e.g., on a front porch).

As further shown in FIG. 1B, and by reference number 120, the AR delivery platform may store the registration information and the delivery information in a data structure (e.g., a database, a table, a list, and/or the like) associated with the AR delivery platform. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may utilize the registration information and the delivery information stored in the data structure to compare with a request for a delivery of an item, identify the user as being associated with the request, determine delivery instructions for the item, and/or the like, as described below. For example, assume that the user orders goods (e.g., provided in a package) from an online company, and the online company provides the package to a delivery service that utilizes the AR delivery platform.

As shown in FIG. 1C, and by reference number 125, the AR delivery platform may receive, from the user device (e.g., an AR mobile device, AR glasses, and/or the like) associated with the delivery person (e.g., of the delivery service), information indicating that the user device associated with the delivery person is at the location. In some implementations, the user device associated with the delivery person may include an application (e.g., received from the AR delivery platform) that causes the user device to provide, to the AR delivery platform, the information indicating that the user device is at the location and to perform functions described below. In some implementations, the user device may automatically provide, to the AR delivery platform, the information indicating that the user device is at the location when GPS coordinates of the user device match GPS coordinates associated with the location. In some implementations, the user device may automatically provide, to the AR delivery platform, GPS coordinates of the user device, and the AR delivery platform may determine that the user device is at the location when the GPS coordinates of the user device match the GPS coordinates associated with the location.

In some implementations, the user device may automatically provide, to the AR delivery platform, images of an area around the user device. In such implementations, the AR delivery platform may determine that the user device is at the location when the images of the area include an image of the location. For example, the AR delivery platform may analyze the images of the area to identify an address number of the location (e.g., multiple address numbers may be associated with a single building in multi-tenant buildings), may determine that the images include the address (e.g., house number 125) when images show a house between house number 123 and house number 127, may analyze images of mailboxes or a curb to identify the address number of the location, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the delivery person may utilize the user device to capture an image of a shipping label associated with an item (e.g., a coded label, a label with an address, and/or the like), and may determine a location for the item based on the image (e.g., via optical character recognition and natural language processing, via bar code reader application, and/or the like). For example, the user device may determine which item is being delivered at any given time in order to narrow an item to a specific location (e.g., when delivering items to multiple townhouses together).

As further shown in FIG. 1C, the AR delivery platform may determine delivery instructions for the package based on the delivery information (e.g., stored in the data structure) and based on receiving the information indicating that the user device associated with the delivery person is at the location. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may map the information indicating that the user device associated with the delivery person is at the location with the delivery information associated with the location, and may generate the delivery instructions based on the mapped delivery information (e.g., the delivery information provided by the user in FIG. 1B). In some implementations, the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information, the image of the location, information indicating preferred delivery times to the location, information indicating specific delivery instructions, the indications that identify one or more designated points for delivering an item at the location, the indications that identify one or more designated points not to leave an item at the location, the automatically created indications in the image of the location, and/or the like. In some implementations, the delivery person may indicate, to the AR delivery platform, what is being delivered (e.g., a size of an item, such as measurements of a package), and the AR delivery platform may determine the delivery instructions based on this additional information. In some implementations, the augmented reality information may include the image of the location, the indications that identify one or more designated points for delivering an item at the location, the indications that identify one or more designated points not to leave an item at the location, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may process the delivery information associated with the location and the information indicating that the user device, associated with the delivery person, is at the location, with a machine learning model, to generate the delivery instructions for the package. In some implementations, the machine learning model may include a pattern recognition model that generates the delivery instructions for the package. For example, if the delivery information does not indicate a designated point for delivery, the machine learning model may automatically select or recommend (e.g., to the user) a designated point for delivery at the location. In another example, if the delivery information indicates a designated point for delivery, the machine learning model may determine whether the designated point for delivery is a best point for delivery (e.g., due to thefts near the location at such designated points), and may recommend one or more designated points for delivery to the user.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may perform a training operation on the machine learning model with historical delivery information associated with a geographical area that includes the location. The historical delivery information may include information indicating delivery instructions for locations within the geographical area (e.g., if the location is a house, the geographical area may include a neighborhood that includes the house), information indicating designated points of delivery at the locations within the geographical area (e.g., most houses in the neighborhood have packages left at the front door), information indicating theft, vandalism, and/or destruction of packages at the designated points of delivery at the locations within the geographical area, and/or the like. In some implementations, the historical delivery information may include information associated with other geographical areas.

The AR delivery platform may separate the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area into a training set, a validation set, a test set, and/or the like. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may train the machine learning model using, for example, an unsupervised training procedure and based on the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area. For example, the AR delivery platform may perform dimensionality reduction to reduce the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area to a minimum feature set, thereby reducing resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, and/or the like) to train the machine learning model, and may apply a classification technique, to the minimum feature set.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may use a logistic regression classification technique to determine a categorical outcome (e.g., that the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area indicate that certain designated points are ideal for item delivery). Additionally, or alternatively, the AR delivery platform may use a naïve Bayesian classifier technique. In this case, the AR delivery platform may perform binary recursive partitioning to split the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area into partitions and/or branches, and use the partitions and/or branches to perform predictions (e.g., that the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area indicate that certain designated points are ideal for item delivery). Based on using recursive partitioning, the AR delivery platform may reduce utilization of computing resources relative to manual, linear sorting and analysis of data points, thereby enabling use of thousands, millions, or billions of data points to train the machine learning model, which may result in a more accurate model than using fewer data points.

Additionally, or alternatively, the AR delivery platform may use a support vector machine (SVM) classifier technique to generate a non-linear boundary between data points in the training set. In this case, the non-linear boundary is used to classify test data into a particular class.

Additionally, or alternatively, the AR delivery platform may train the machine learning model using a supervised training procedure that includes receiving input to the machine learning model from a subject matter expert, which may reduce an amount of time, an amount of processing resources, and/or the like to train the machine learning model of activity automatability relative to an unsupervised training procedure. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may use one or more other model training techniques, such as a neural network technique, a latent semantic indexing technique, and/or the like. For example, the AR delivery platform may perform an artificial neural network processing technique (e.g., using a two-layer feedforward neural network architecture, a three-layer feedforward neural network architecture, and/or the like) to perform pattern recognition with regard to patterns of the historical delivery information associated with the geographical area. In this case, using the artificial neural network processing technique may improve an accuracy of the trained machine learning model generated by the AR delivery platform by being more robust to noisy, imprecise, or incomplete data, and by enabling the AR delivery platform to detect patterns and/or trends undetectable to human analysts or systems using less complex techniques.

In some implementations, when no delivery information is provided for a location, the delivery person may utilize the user device to capture an image of the location and to identify a designated point of the package in the image. The delivery person may provide the image of the location and the designated point of the package in the image to the AR delivery platform. The AR delivery platform may process the image of the location and the designated point of the package in the image, with the machine learning model, to generate augmented reality information or non-augmented reality information that may be utilized by a receiver of the package (e.g., the homeowner) to retrieve the package at the location.

As further shown in FIG. 1C, and by reference number 130, the AR delivery platform may provide the delivery instructions, with the augmented reality information, to the user device associated with the delivery person. The user device may receive the delivery instructions and the augmented reality information, and the delivery instructions and the augmented reality information may enable the delivery person to deliver the package to an appropriate point at the location. In some implementations, prior to traveling to the location, the AR delivery platform may provide the delivery instructions, with the augmented reality information, to the user device if the user device indicates specific delivery locations to be performed by the delivery person. For example, if the delivery person is making ten deliveries to locations, the delivery person may cause the user device to provide information associated with the ten deliveries (e.g., locations, order of the deliveries, and/or the like) to the AR delivery platform. As the delivery person travels to each of the ten locations, the AR delivery platform may automatically preload (e.g., on the user device) the delivery instructions, with the augmented reality information, for each location as the user device approaches each location.

In some implementations, the user device may map the information indicating that the user device is at the location with the delivery information associated with the location (e.g., provided in the data structure). In such implementations, the user device may generate the delivery instructions, with the augmented reality information, based on the mapped delivery information (e.g., the delivery information provided by the user in FIG. 1B).

As shown in FIG. 1D, and by reference number 135, the user device associated with the delivery person may utilize the augmented reality information to display the delivery instructions for the package and ensure proper delivery of the package. For example, if the user device is smart glasses, the delivery person may wear the smart glasses and look at the location. The smart glasses may display the live location (e.g., the user's house), the delivery instructions (e.g., “Ring doorbell. If not home leave at designated location”), and the augmented reality information with the live location. The augmented reality information may include designated points or areas (e.g., red Not OK areas) to not deliver the package, and designated points or areas (e.g., green OK areas) to deliver the package in the live location. The delivery person may walk to the designated area (e.g., the green OK area) and may deliver the package at the designated area. In another example, if the user device is a mobile device, the delivery person may capture the live location with the mobile device, and the mobile device may display the live location, the delivery instructions, and the augmented reality information with the live location. The augmented reality information may include the designated points or areas (e.g., red Not OK areas) to not deliver the package, and the designated points or areas (e.g., green OK areas) to deliver the package in the live location. The delivery person may walk with the mobile device to the designated area (e.g., the green OK area) and may delivery the package at the designated area.

As shown in FIG. 1E, assume that the location includes handwritten instructions that the delivery person cannot understand, that the delivery person does not want to reference handwritten instructions each time at the location and does not remember the handwritten instructions, that the handwritten instructions are not noticeable by the delivery person by are captured by the user device, and/or the like. In such a situation, and as shown by reference number 140 in FIG. 1E, the AR delivery platform may receive, from the user device associated with the delivery person, an image of the handwritten instructions and information indicating a location of the user device. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may perform optical character recognition (OCR) on the image to generate text of the handwritten instructions. In some implementations, the OCR may convert the image into an electronic format (e.g., the text). Optical character recognition involves a conversion of images of typed, handwritten, or printed text into machine-encoded text. For example, OCR may be applied to a scanned document, a photo of a document, a photo of a scene that includes text, and/or the like, to produce electronic data (e.g., text data). Implementations of OCR may employ pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may perform natural language processing (NLP) on the text, provided by the OCR, to generate results (e.g., a translation of the handwritten instructions, “Knock on the front door. If no one is home, leave the package next to the garage.”). For example, the AR delivery platform may apply natural language processing to interpret the text and generate additional information associated with the potential meaning of information within the text. Natural language processing involves techniques performed (e.g., by a computer system) to analyze, understand, and derive meaning from human language in a useful way. Natural language processing can be applied to analyze text, allowing machines to understand how humans speak, enabling real world applications such as automatic text summarization, sentiment analysis, topic extraction, named entity recognition, parts-of-speech tagging, relationship extraction, stemming, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may determine delivery instructions for the package based on the results of the OCR and the natural language processing and based on the location. For example, the AR delivery platform may map the information indicating the location of the user device with the delivery information associated with the location, and may generate the delivery instructions based on the mapped delivery information (e.g., the delivery information provided by the user in FIG. 1B). In some implementations, the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information, the image of the location, information indicating preferred delivery times to the location, information indicating specific delivery instructions, the indications that identify one or more designated points for delivering an item at the location, and/or the like. In some implementations, the delivery instructions may be altered based on the information determined from the handwritten instructions. For example, if the delivery instructions indicate that the package should be delivered to the front door and the handwritten instructions indicate that the package should be delivered next to a garage (e.g., “Knock on the front door. If no one is home, leave the package next to the garage.”), the delivery instructions may be altered to indicate that the package should be delivered next to the garage. In such implementations, the AR delivery platform may alter the augmented reality information associated with the delivery to indicate delivery next to the garage.

In some implementations, the user device associated with the delivery person may perform the OCR and natural language processing on the handwritten instructions, and may alter the delivery instructions based on the results of the OCR and natural language processing. In some implementations, if the OCR and natural language processing fails to translate the handwritten instructions, the handwritten instructions may be manually translated.

As further shown in FIG. 1E, and by reference number 145, the AR delivery platform may provide the delivery instructions, with the augmented reality information, to the user device associated with the delivery person. The user device may receive the delivery instructions and the augmented reality information, and the delivery instructions and the augmented reality information may enable the delivery person to deliver the package to an appropriate point at the location.

As shown in FIG. 1F, and by reference number 150, the user device associated with the delivery person may utilize the augmented reality information to display the delivery instructions for the package and ensure proper delivery of the package. For example, if the user device is smart glasses, the delivery person may wear the smart glasses and look at the location. The smart glasses may display the live location (e.g., the user's house), the delivery instructions (e.g., “Knock on the front door. If no one is home, leave the package next to the garage.”), and the augmented reality information with the live location. The augmented reality information may include designated points or areas (e.g., red Not OK areas) to not deliver the package, and designated points or areas (e.g., green OK areas) to deliver the package in the live location. The delivery person may walk to the designated area (e.g., the green OK area) and may deliver the package at the designated area (e.g., next to the garage). In another example, if the user device is a mobile device, the delivery person may capture the live location with the mobile device, and the mobile device may display the live location, the delivery instructions, and the augmented reality information with the live location. The augmented reality information may include the designated points or areas (e.g., red Not OK areas) to not deliver the package, and the designated points or areas (e.g., green OK areas) to deliver the package in the live location. The delivery person may walk with the mobile device to the designated area (e.g., the green OK area) and may deliver the package at the designated area (e.g., next to the garage).

As shown in FIG. 1G, and by reference number 155, the AR delivery platform may receive images of a location over a period of time. In some implementations, the received images may indicate that the location has changed over the period of time. As further shown in FIG. 1G, and by reference number 160, the AR delivery platform may generate and train a machine learning model based on the images of the location over the period of time. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may utilize the machine learning model (e.g., a pattern recognition model) to identify the patterns in the image of the location, to process the delivery information and the information indicating that the user device, associated with the delivery person, is at the location, to generate delivery instructions for the item, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may perform a training operation on the machine learning model with the images of the location over the period of time. For example, the AR delivery platform may separate the images of the location over the period of time into a training set, a validation set, a test set, and/or the like. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may train the machine learning model using, for example, an unsupervised training procedure and based on the training set of the images of the location over the period of time. For example, the AR delivery platform may perform dimensionality reduction to reduce the images of the location over the period of time to a minimum feature set, thereby reducing resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, and/or the like) to train the machine learning model, and may apply a classification technique, to the minimum feature set.

In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may use a logistic regression classification technique to determine a categorical outcome (e.g., that the images of the location over the period of time indicate changes to the location). Additionally, or alternatively, the AR delivery platform may use a naïve Bayesian classifier technique. In this case, the AR delivery platform may perform binary recursive partitioning to split the images of the location over the period of time into partitions and/or branches, and use the partitions and/or branches to perform predictions (e.g., that the images of the location over the period of time indicate changes to the location). Based on using recursive partitioning, the AR delivery platform may reduce utilization of computing resources relative to manual, linear sorting and analysis of data points, thereby enabling use of thousands, millions, or billions of data points to train the machine learning model, which may result in a more accurate model than using fewer data points.

Additionally, or alternatively, the AR delivery platform may use a support vector machine (SVM) classifier technique to generate a non-linear boundary between data points in the training set. In this case, the non-linear boundary is used to classify test data into a particular class.

Additionally, or alternatively, the AR delivery platform may train the machine learning model using a supervised training procedure that includes receiving input to the machine learning model from a subject matter expert, which may reduce an amount of time, an amount of processing resources, and/or the like to train the machine learning model of activity automatability relative to an unsupervised training procedure. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may use one or more other model training techniques, such as a neural network technique, a latent semantic indexing technique, and/or the like. For example, the AR delivery platform may perform an artificial neural network processing technique (e.g., using a two-layer feedforward neural network architecture, a three-layer feedforward neural network architecture, and/or the like) to perform pattern recognition with regard to patterns of the images of the location over the period of time. In this case, using the artificial neural network processing technique may improve an accuracy of the trained machine learning model generated by the AR delivery platform by being more robust to noisy, imprecise, or incomplete data, and by enabling the AR delivery platform to detect patterns and/or trends undetectable to human analysts or systems using less complex techniques.

As further shown in FIG. 1G, and by reference number 165, the AR delivery platform may utilize the trained machine learning model to determine that a new garage has been added at the location. The AR delivery platform may also determine that packages are now delivered at the newly added garage. In some implementations, the AR delivery platform may alter delivery instructions for the location to indicate that packages are to be delivered at the newly added garage (e.g., rather than the front door).

With reference to FIG. 1H, assume that the delivery person is to deliver an item to a location within a secure building (e.g., an office building). As shown in FIG. 1H, and by reference number 170, the AR delivery platform may provide, to the user device associated with the delivery person, delivery instructions that include walking directions to the location within the building and dynamic codes for accessing the building and/or parts of the building. For example, the delivery instructions may include augmented reality information indicating the walking directions (e.g., proceed straight, a straight arrow, and/or the like), the dynamic codes for accessing the building and/or parts of the building (e.g., use code 0654 to access the door), and/or the like. In some implementations, the codes may be dynamic in that they may only be used once and during the time the delivery person is within the building (e.g., to maintain security in the building). In this way, the AR delivery platform may provide augmented reality information that helps a delivery person to navigate a complex and secure building quickly and easily.

In this way, several different stages of the process for utilizing machine learning to generate augmented reality delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location are automated, which may remove human subjectivity and waste from the process, and which may improve speed and efficiency of the process and conserve computing resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, and/or the like). Furthermore, implementations described herein use a rigorous, computerized process to perform tasks or roles that were not previously performed or were previously performed using subjective human intuition or input. For example, currently there does not exist a technique that utilizes machine learning to generate augmented reality delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location. Finally, automating the process for utilizing machine learning to generate augmented reality delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location conserves computing resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, and/or the like) that would otherwise be wasted in attempting to provide delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location.

As indicated above, FIGS. 1A-1H are provided merely as examples. Other examples are possible and may differ from what was described with regard to FIGS. 1A-1H.

FIG. 2 is a diagram of an example environment 200 in which systems and/or methods, described herein, may be implemented. As shown in FIG. 2, environment 200 may include a user device 210, an AR delivery platform 220, and a network 230. Devices of environment 200 may interconnect via wired connections, wireless connections, or a combination of wired and wireless connections.

For example, user device 210 may include a mobile phone (e.g., a smart phone, a radiotelephone, etc.), a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a handheld computer, a gaming device, a wearable communication device (e.g., a smart wristwatch, a pair of smart eyeglasses, etc.), or a similar type of device. In some implementations, user device 210 may receive information from and/or transmit information to AR delivery platform 220.

AR delivery platform 220 includes one or more devices that utilize machine learning to generate augmented reality delivery instructions for delivering an item to a location. In some implementations, AR delivery platform 220 may be designed to be modular such that certain software components may be swapped in or out depending on a particular need. As such, AR delivery platform 220 may be easily and/or quickly reconfigured for different uses. In some implementations, AR delivery platform 220 may receive information from and/or transmit information to one or more user devices 210.

In some implementations, as shown, AR delivery platform 220 may be hosted in a cloud computing environment 222. Notably, while implementations described herein describe AR delivery platform 220 as being hosted in cloud computing environment 222, in some implementations, AR delivery platform 220 may not be cloud-based (i.e., may be implemented outside of a cloud computing environment) or may be partially cloud-based.

Cloud computing environment 222 includes an environment that hosts AR delivery platform 220. Cloud computing environment 222 may provide computation, software, data access, storage, etc. services that do not require end-user knowledge of a physical location and configuration of system(s) and/or device(s) that host AR delivery platform 220. As shown, cloud computing environment 222 may include a group of computing resources 224 (referred to collectively as “computing resources 224” and individually as “computing resource 224”).

Computing resource 224 includes one or more personal computers, workstation computers, server devices, or other types of computation and/or communication devices. In some implementations, computing resource 224 may host AR delivery platform 220. The cloud resources may include compute instances executing in computing resource 224, storage devices provided in computing resource 224, data transfer devices provided by computing resource 224, etc. In some implementations, computing resource 224 may communicate with other computing resources 224 via wired connections, wireless connections, or a combination of wired and wireless connections.

Application 224-1 includes one or more software applications that may be provided to or accessed by user device 210. Application 224-1 may eliminate a need to install and execute the software applications on user device 210. For example, application 224-1 may include software associated with AR delivery platform 220 and/or any other software capable of being provided via cloud computing environment 222. In some implementations, one application 224-1 may send/receive information to/from one or more other applications 224-1, via virtual machine 224-2.

Virtual machine 224-2 includes a software implementation of a machine (e.g., a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Virtual machine 224-2 may be either a system virtual machine or a process virtual machine, depending upon use and degree of correspondence to any real machine by virtual machine 224-2. A system virtual machine may provide a complete system platform that supports execution of a complete operating system (“OS”). A process virtual machine may execute a single program, and may support a single process. In some implementations, virtual machine 224-2 may execute on behalf of a user (e.g., a user of user device 210 or an operator of AR delivery platform 220), and may manage infrastructure of cloud computing environment 222, such as data management, synchronization, or long-duration data transfers.

Virtualized storage 224-3 includes one or more storage systems and/or one or more devices that use virtualization techniques within the storage systems or devices of computing resource 224. In some implementations, within the context of a storage system, types of virtualizations may include block virtualization and file virtualization. Block virtualization may refer to abstraction (or separation) of logical storage from physical storage so that the storage system may be accessed without regard to physical storage or heterogeneous structure. The separation may permit administrators of the storage system flexibility in how the administrators manage storage for end users. File virtualization may eliminate dependencies between data accessed at a file level and a location where files are physically stored. This may enable optimization of storage use, server consolidation, and/or performance of non-disruptive file migrations.

Hypervisor 224-4 may provide hardware virtualization techniques that allow multiple operating systems (e.g., “guest operating systems”) to execute concurrently on a host computer, such as computing resource 224. Hypervisor 224-4 may present a virtual operating platform to the guest operating systems, and may manage the execution of the guest operating systems. Multiple instances of a variety of operating systems may share virtualized hardware resources.

Network 230 includes one or more wired and/or wireless networks. For example, network 230 may include a cellular network (e.g., a fifth generation (5G) network, a long-term evolution (LTE) network, a third generation (3G) network, a code division multiple access (CDMA) network, etc.), a public land mobile network (PLMN), a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a telephone network (e.g., the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)), a private network, an ad hoc network, an intranet, the Internet, a fiber optic-based network, and/or the like, and/or a combination of these or other types of networks.

Certain user interfaces have been described herein and/or shown in the figures. A user interface may include a graphical user interface, a non-graphical user interface, a text-based user interface, or the like. A user interface may provide information for display. In some implementations, a user may interact with the information, such as by providing input via an input component of a device that provides the user interface for display. In some implementations, a user interface may be configurable by a device and/or a user (e.g., a user may change the size of the user interface, information provided via the user interface, a position of information provided via the user interface, etc.). Additionally, or alternatively, a user interface may be pre-configured to a standard configuration, a specific configuration based on a type of device on which the user interface is displayed, and/or a set of configurations based on capabilities and/or specifications associated with a device on which the user interface is displayed.
